When storing wood arrows, is there any particular way to store them that would maintain their straightness better? Vertical or horizontal? Loose or bundled? Or are all those ways fine, when it comes to causing any bend?
I ask because I have many cedar shafts that I'm going to make into arrows soon, and I want to store them in the best possible way.
i've always assumed you store finished arrows vertical, and shafts horizontal. going by what i've always seen at shops and pics online. mine never seem to leave my quiver unless in a target, broke, in flight, or lost.
Vertical seems like a better method to me. I built a storage rack out of a dropped ceiling light defuser that is 2' x 2' and holds about 1400 shafts. I cut the defuser in half and mounted one half over the other half and built a wood frame for it.
